Christmas Book Haul

DISCLAIMER: I didn’t decide to write this post because I
wanted to “show off” how many books I got (the thought didn’t even cross my
mind since I’d planned a book haul long
before I saw how many/what books I got!) also I understand how blessed I am to
be surrounded by such generous people including my family and friends. In
reality I simply wanted to share like I’ve seen other people do; books hauls
can be some of my favourite posts to read so I wanted to do my own.

Now that’s out of the way, this Christmas in total I
received an amazing 57 books! Most were gifts from friends and family, along
with books I bought using vouchers both before and after Christmas. This haul
has been in the works for at least 3 months…! It meant that if there was a
special deal on when I went out shopping, the books I bought went straight
under the Christmas tree (or in a cupboard before December 1st until
the tree was actually up).

Since there are so many I knew it would take forever to link
to everysingle goodreads page, so I simply didn’t. They are however in
alphabetical order of author, which helped me when arranging them all on my
bookshelves (check out my twitter and Instagram to see the pictures).

Before I put them all away, with help from my mother (my
brothers were too busy playing their new games) I arranged them all together
into a circle. At first it was going to be a tree, but we couldn’t make it hold
up, then it was a circle, then it was a Christmas wreath, and then it was a
mess because the dogs came back from their walk!
